Code
We have benefitted greatly from a wealth of code developed by others. We use Ruby and Rails extensively. This site is running Radiant CMS. In our applications, we use quite a few plugins. When we have the opportunity, we try to give some code back. So far, we have released two plugins: authenticates_via_typekey and acts_as_mappable. Expect these plugins to get some love in the near future as we put them to use on a couple of internal projects.
In addition to giving back via plugins, we often will occasionally develop small, internal applications for learning purposes. When we do this, we will make the code available as an example of how to use new functionality in rails, or just as an example of what our code looks like. We like to show off our code. It’s something we do well, and we’re proud of it!
